Apple Inc. Chief Executive Officer Tim Cook sent all employees a memo addressing the impact of the coronavirus on the company. That came after Apple issued a statement saying that it would miss revenue guidance for the current quarter due to supply constraints and diminished demand related to the outbreak.
In the email, Cook mentioned Apple’s teams working on the fallout from the virus and said that the safety of employees, partners and customers is the company’s central concern.
